THE "FALLING INTO AUTUMN JAM"
The Falling into Autumn Jam is an annual weekend jam that aims to be a dance-focused exploration of Contact Improvisation featuring classes, workshops, and open jams. We work to welcome as many types of bodies, identities, and levels of experience in this wheelchair-friendly and access-focused space. We welcome dancers from Toronto and the surrounding areas to join us from October 11 to 12, 2025, at the National Ballet School to celebrate and practise Contact Improvisation. The festival includes two days of dance jamming, workshops, a BIPOC affinity dance jam, a disability-led access-focused dance jam, and an evening film screening and performance followed by an ecstatic dance.
